IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. DO NOT dry articles that have been previously washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
3. DO NOT allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when
the appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, the door must be removed.
5. DO NOT reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7. DO NOT tamper with or modify the control panel.
8. DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
9. DO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer
of the fabric softener or product.
10. DO NOT use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
11. Clean lint screen before or after each load.
12. ALWAYS keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
13. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
14. DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid
stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or
connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
2. DO NOT touch the plug with wet hands. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ALWAYS pull the plug to
unplug the product. DO NOT pull on the cord to unplug.
3. ALWAYS connect the dryer to a grounded socket with fuse protection. Have the ground connection
installed by a qualified electrician. Our company cannot be held responsible for damages/losses
resulting from using the dryer without a proper ground connection as required by local regulations.
4. The voltage and the allowable fuse protection are indicated on the rating plate on the unit.
5. Voltage and frequency values indicated on the rating plate must be equal to the mains voltage and
frequency value in your house.
6. To reduce the risk of shock or damage to the appliance, ALWAYS unplug the dryer when it is not in
use for an extended period, and before installation, maintenance, cleaning and repair.
7. The plug socket must be freely accessible at all times after installation.
8. A damaged power cord/plug can cause fire or give you an electric shock. When damaged it must be
replaced, this should only be done by qualified personnel.
9. To avoid the risk or fire or electric shock, DO NOT use extension cords or adapters to connect the
dryer to mains power.
